Commenting/Trackback Problem

Both my comments and trackbacking aren't working. I thought maybe this was an across the board mu.nu thing, but Ace tells me his are working fine. What gives? Need help quick as I have what I think is an important new post up and dozens of people trying to send TBs to it.

(BTW- new post is an interview, yes REAL JOURNALISM, with the wife of a hostage in Iraq)

UPDATE:

Mental note: when using MT do not accidentally ban ALL IPs. Apparently when I tried to delete a ban earlier today I inadvertantly pressed enter with a blank IP field. Thus, all trackbacks and comments were banned. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host.

That's an odd one. I just checked, and FTP is definitely working. Try it again now, it might have been a temporary network issue or something.

4 No go. Same error. I'm using the same software and settings as before and I'm able to reach 3 other sites using ftp. Stumped, I am.

5 Dang. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can work it out.

You can log in to CPanel okay?

6 Get into cpanel and MT just fine.

7 Ah, I think I've found the problem. I've upgraded the security since you were here last, and that looks like it's causing the problem. What the server does now is when it sees a connection that it hasn't been told is permitted, it pretends that it doesn't exist. That's why you get the "unreachable host" message.

I'll need to tweak things a bit, but it shouldn't take too long.

8 You are so good to us. If you had a Paypal button, I'd hit it as often as a redheaded stepchild.

9 Still getting this:

A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. Connection closed. Server timeout.
NOOP

10 Hi Anna. Can you set your FTP client to use Active mode instead of Passive? That should work.

I'm looking for a solution to make passive mode work now.
